Been a while since I posted . I got placed in a talent pool September 2019 and was told would probably be March before placed . Last posted here august last year ... I’ve not had any communication from GWR at all .

Echo what TM said .. also just focus on your paper don’t look how fast / slow others are working

I’ve been...
Heya!
So I had the afternoon slot . 6 of us being assessed . 5 were internal and then me . I have to be honest I felt a bit intimated by that but I just had the attitude go in dnd give it my all . 7 managers were in a room assessing us - they assigned 1 manager to one person .

Hi
That’s the email I got too . I then did stage 2 quickly but now in a long wait in talent pool .
